Yea that's what I was referring too. Just hadn't heard anything about a possible contract.

Great Question.

Coming off a torn achilles will he be wanting a huge deal still? Do we tell him to walk and draft a TE high? do we sign a healthy TE like Martellus Bennett in FA. Good question.

I've got some smack for Cofield, Bowen, Jenkins and Kerrigan. NO SACKS the last two weeks. Can ANY of you get any kind of pass rush???? Carolina's guys sure did. Why can't you???

Kerrigan had a sack last week against Pitt.

But yeah in general these guys are getting zero pressure.

I was actually enjoying the blitzes yesterday. When we play coverage we get owned so we might as well dial up some pressure. Against people like Manning/Romo, maybe not so much, but against the Vicks/Newtons why not?

this is what i was thinking... we can't cover anyone anyway might as well try and blitz and hurry the qb and force a bad throw... seriously something has to change on D... personell we are stuck with... but the coach we dont have to be.... i just hope this bye week lets us as a team take a long hard look at ourselves and get the eff up to play philly in 2 weeks

Matty mentioned it yesterday but Rak is definitely better than Ryan is.

I certainly underrated Orakpo

How do you even "rate" Orakpo, he's barely played this year.

He means he didn't think we'd miss him as much as we do.

This is the type of stuff that just angers me the most about the skins:

Andrew Luck tops Ryan Tannehill, Doug Martin, Bears defense, NFL Week 9 thoughts - Don Banks - SI.com

How long does team have to be in the basement?

Just frustrating all around; I have actually this year lost my enjoyment of even the rest of the league. If your favorite team can't even compete at all what is the point of watching.

I have said this before but if not for this site I probably have dropped the Skins by now. I didn't have super high expectations for this year and been happy anywhere between 7 and 9 wins. Right now looking sub 6; there is as a team for a win stand point (the most important stand point) has been no improvement under MS. I hate to say because I don't want us to have to start all over again but I think MS and companies ship has sailed.

I was at the game yesterday, and here are my observations:

- I dont break down film, and won't pretend I'm an expert, but the Panthers defense had multiple plays where they only have 1 deep safety, who would shade toward the side the Skins had more than 1 WR. Most times, Hankerson was left one and one with his corner. Why doesn't Kyle exploit this more? No trust in WRs to catch it? No trust in OL to block long enough?
- The refs were atrocious. Period. Replacement bad. Several bad calls. The hold on the 2nd non-TD late in the game probably took the cake.
- OLine down the stretch played very poorly.
- Front seven is getting very little push. Newton had all damn day to throw the ball.
- Brandon Banks is wasting a roster spot.
- The secondary has 2 weeks to get healthy and start playing a helluva lot better.
- The Skins continue to be outcoached (I'd say outclassed, but the Panthers showed no class yesterday) and if Shanny's thrown in the towel already, it's only going to get worse after the bye.

Shanny throwing in the white towel clearly shows that this team's depth is still a huge question mark. The injuries are mounting (Orakpo, Carriker, Merriweather, Davis, Garcon) and the guys replacing these folks (with the exception of Paulson, who has stepped up) just aren't good enough. And with the Skins facing another year of reduced salary cap, it's going to be another 2 seasons before they can built their depth back up.

Yeah there was just terrible calls on both sides. The personal foul against Morgan was just horrible. Not sure how some of these refs keep their jobs. One ref blew the whiste while the play was still going on. Just in excusable stuff.

The team will have all the leverage with Davis. I'd bring him back with a one year prove you're healthy type of deal.
